12:30pm

Nightwing stood above the dark ally. It was eerily quiet, but that would change in a little bit. He carefully held the scanner as it searched for heat signatures. Beep.

Beep.

Bingo.

There they were, three masked men carrying several big trunks. None of which were legal. Nightwing's mask furrowed and he jumped onto one of the thugs. "OOFF, Crap! It's Nightwing!" one of the men set down his cargo and took out a receiver, "Yo boss it's Nightwing! Send back up!" Nightwing spun around and kicked the mans face. 'Two down one to-' Nightwings thought was interrupted as he saw several vans pull up. About 20 men in black suits flowed out of each van, carrying orange glowing sticks ( if any one can tell me what they're really card I'd appreciate it.) They were Black mask's henchmen. Nightwing lowered his current fighting stance as they surrounded him.

To the henchmen's suprise he smirked. A sudden high pitched cackle echoed through the ally. A dark, small form jumped from a nearby rooftop and landed with a thump infront of Nightwing. It was a girl. She wore a black and white uniform that was sort of like a checkerboard. While on one side of her mask was black with a white eye, the other half was white with a black eye. She wore a white button up blouse with a black N that stretched across most of her upper body. Shorts that we're also half white and half black covered tights that were the opposite of the shorts. ( So under her shorts there was one black half tight, that went under the white part of her shorts. And on the other side there was a white half tight went under the black side of her shorts.) her boots were worn in the same manor. Finally her back was adorned with a black cape with a white under belly.

"Who are you?" one of the thugs asked slightly snickering. The girl frowned. "Nightingale, official partner to Nightwing." The men laughed at the anger in her voice. Nightingale growled under her breath and threw several birderangs then shouted, "NRUT MEHT OTNI STEN!" The birderangs flashed as they turned into titanium cable nets, completely enveloping about 13 of the henchmen. The rest yelled in rage as they closed in on Nnightwing and Nightingale. "Maneuver 7?" Nightwing asked as Nightingale stood back to back with him. "Let's do it boss." she replied. Nightingale turned to face her mentor as he bent down cupping his hands. As soon as she stepped into his hands, Nightwing launched her up into the air. Nightingale then twisted her position into a flying kick onto two of the men. Nightwing smiled at his protege and he quickly went two beat the rest.

About 30 minutes later, both Nightwing and Nightingale stood over a good 100 henchman. "Whew that was fun." Nightingale said, wiping her brow. Nightwing laughed. "So you had a good time?" Nightingale flipped up to a nearby fire escape. "Heck yeah I did!" Nightwing jumped up next to her. "Well, happy birthday baby bird." Nightingale looked up at her mentor smiling. "Thanks... Dad."
